1970 Monte Carlo barn find
So I came across a 70 monte carlo that a friend of mine's father had in a garage for years. Problem is, I'm guessing the windows were closed and the inside never had a chance to dry out while it was in storage. When I walked up to it I could smell the musty odor from 15 feet away. When I looked inside the smell was worse and the door panels had small white dots on them which I'm guessing is mold? The cloth bench seat also felt damp. I didn't feel the carpet but that probably was damp as well. My question is, what would be involved in getting the smell/mold out of the car? I would think a new carpet and upholstery would be a must. Would a strong cleaner take care of the door panels? Also, are there any other areas that would need addressing, like inside the door panels or the air vents? The car will be up for sale in the next few months so I wanted to know how bad of a situation this is if I wanted to try to buy it. The body looked good but the battery was out so I haven't heard it run yet. Thanks for any help or tips.
